There is a truck salvage yard in Norwalk, Pioneer Truck Salvage, that has them for $650.  I picked up my titan LCA there for $70 each.  They said they would sell the entire front drive with suspension for just under and grand.

Have you given any thought to going with RCV half shafts and not worrying about the titan swap?

I've thought about it, especially now since I can't find an M205 for a reasonable price.  I called the place in Norwalk and they don't have one.  I have to wait till Tuesday to check one last place in riverside.

When I last check prices, I found a complete M205 with half shafts included for about $700, if I can find something like that again, I'm golden! The half shafts are 450 but I'll still need the CV assembly to go with it

I have been super happy with my RCV's although expensive, you can't beat the warranty on them. Without doing a Titan swap you can keep a narrower profile. Although you will get varying opinions that R-180 is just as strong as the 205 with lockers and the better half shafts. I'm sure Steve over at Rugged Rocks would be happy to assist you.

 As I remember it the price was right at 2k, maybe just a bit more with tax. He's a really nice guy if you don't already know him.

Going full titan swap, talked to rugged rocks and he is going to source me an M205, for those of you who are swapped... Any hints, tricks, suggestions, or cautions I should be aware of?  I also plan on picking up some stock titan half axles with CVs.  Any advice is welcome

Only thing I'm aware of Clint is that the Stock titan half shafts BREAK too it you wheel them hard.

Thanks Terry, I'm going to add the RCVs to my list but it's a little out of the budget right now. ..hopefully I can make the stock ones last a while!

Sure Clint.   Just be prepared when you are out there rock crawlin'.   Actually a real plus is that the Titan half shafts are a hell of lot easier to change than the R180.   I would say it will take you quite a while to catch up with me and breaks.   8)

Lol, I've heard you're up to six or so Terry! Quite impressive! Steve at rugged rocks was telling me about a few of them!  I have to get my rig back up to 100% before the Bradshaw trail next month!
